System for Routing Articles by Individuals Who Are Members of a Community, Carrying Out a Control of the Contents by Imaging During Transfer of the Package Between Individuals

1. System for dispatching objects via individuals of a community, comprising: packages intended to contain the objects, having dimensions and weights allowing a single person to carry the packages, and given at least one recognition code, portable computing units held by the individuals of the community; and a computing platform including at least one computing application intended to be downloaded by the computing units held by the individuals of the community, and including at least one database relating to the packages listing the recognition codes of all packages, wherein each package is provided with at least one image sensor for said object(s), wherein the system includes a module to determine and detect a predetermined key step in the dispatch of the package, wherein the computing platform and/or the computing units are parameterized to: transmit an image capture request to the image sensor at each predetermined key step of dispatch; and receive images, via the computing application, relating to said object(s) taken by the image sensor, and wherein the computing platform is parameterized to: receive responsibility acceptance signal from the individual temporarily in charge of the package via the computing application contained in the computing unit held by said individual; and transmit an image capture signal to the image sensor after receiving a responsibility acceptance signal.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined key steps are selected from the following group: handover of a package from one individual to another; opening and/or closing of the package; request by an authorized individual; request by an administrator of the platform.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the computing platform and/or the computing units comprise an image comparison module and are parameterized to: receive, via the computing application, at least two images relating to said object(s) and corresponding to at least two different instants of dispatch time; compare the two images; and determine whether a predetermined abnormal level of variation between the two images has been reached.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the image comparison module is parameterized to carry out image subtraction between two images, with detection of a difference threshold after subtraction.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the database relating to the packages, for each package, comprises timestamp data of an image capture of said object(s) by the image sensor.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein each package is provided with a device to weigh the object(s) together with the package.

7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the computing platform is parameterized to receive a responsibility acceptance signal from the individual temporarily in charge of the package, via the computing application contained in the computing unit held by said individual, and in that the platform is parameterized to transmit a weigh signal to the weighing device after receiving a responsibility acceptance signal.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein each package is provided with at least one zip fastening and at least one slider and with a device to detect the position of said slider(s) along the zip chain.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein each package is provided with at least one flap intended to cover the zip fastening and slider(s), the package comprising a cable integrated in an electrical circuit including a device to detect an opened position of the flap.

10. Method for tracking accepted responsibility for an object dispatched using a system according to claim 1 , characterized in that it wherein the method comprises the steps of: activating the computing application authorizing exchange of data between the computing platform and a computing unit held by an individual; receiving, by the computing platform and via the computing application contained in computing units, at least two successive images of said object(s) and corresponding to two different instants of dispatch time; comparing the two successive images; and determining whether an abnormal level of variation between the two images has been reached.

11. Computer programme comprising instructions adapted to implement the steps of the method according to claim 10 , when said computer programme is executed by at least one processor.

12. Computer-readable recording medium on which a computer program is recorded comprising instructions to implement the steps of the method according to claim 10 .
